CAKES 

General Rules for Preparation 

Have all necessary utensils and ingredients ready before starting work. 

Accurate measurements are essential in cooking. Have utensils of 
regulation size; measuring cups divided into quarters, and thirds, and holding 
half a pint; teaspoons, tablespoons, wooden spoons for mixing, a flat wire 
egg beater, a Dover egg beater, flour sifter, spatula, biscuit cutter, pastry 
brush and a set of mixing bowls. 

In measuring dry ingredients, fill and level off with the blade of a knife. 
When half a spoonful is required, fill spoon and then divide lengthwise of 
the spoon and scrape out one half. When one quarter of a spoonful is re- 
quired, divide crosswise the remaining half. 

In measuring liquid, use all the cup or spoon will hold. 

To measure shortening, pack and level off with a knife. 

Great care is required in combining ingredients. 

The most difficult part of cake making is the baking. Unless the oven 
is right, the cake may be a failure, no matter how carefully it may have been 
prepared. 

Grease the pans in which ‘Butter Cakes’ are baked with clarified butter 
and sift a little flour over this, then shake off surplus. Even if shortening 
other than butter is used in the making of a cake, and the pan in which it 
is baked is greased with butter, the cake will have a good rich flavor. 

Pans for ‘Butterless Cakes,’ such as Sponge and Angel Cakes, should 
never be greased, floured or lined with paper. 

Half fill cake pan and lightly press the mixture from centre to sides 
and corners of the pan so the finished product will be level on the top. 

The oven temperature and time required for baking depend on size and 
kind of cake and is usually shown in recipe. 

A round pan with a tube for loaf cake is recommended. 

A round bottomed bowl is the best type of mixing bowl to use. 

A wooden spoon is more suitable to use for beating than a metal spoon. 

For beating egg whites a wire beater should be used. 

All leavening powders, whether baking powder, soda or cream of tartar, 
should be mixed and sifted with the flour before being added to the batter. 

Ground spices should be mixed and sifted with the flour and then added 
to the batter. 

Cocoa may replace chocolate in cake making by substituting one third 
cup of cocoa and 2 teaspoons shortening for every ounce (or square) of 
chocolate called for in the recipe. 

Classification 

1 . Cakes with shortening Butter cakes. 

2. Cakes without shortening Sponge cakes, Angel cakes. 

Ingredients 

Shortening Any shortening of good quality. Butter makes a cake of 

good flavor. 

Sugar A fine granulated or castor sugar is best for plain cake. If 

sugar is coarse, roll and sift it before measuring. 

Eggs Fresh eggs give best results, but packed eggs, if of a good flavor, 

are satisfactory. 

Flour A fine pastry flour made from soft wheat is best. If bread flour 

must be used, replace two tablespoons of each cup with two tablespoons of 
corn starch. 

Liquid Sweet or sour milk. 

Standard Method of Mixing Cakes with Creamed Butter or Shortening 

Cream the shortening in a china or granite-ware bowl (preferably a 
round bottomed bowl) using a wooden spoon, until as light as whipped cream. 
(The shortening may be left in a warm room for a few hours to soften it 
up a little, but under no circumstances should it be melted.)

Follow the Recipes Carefully 


Add the sugar, gradually beating all the time so as to get as much air 
as possible into the batter. Add the eggs either one at a time, beating well 
in between, or beaten all together until light. 

Add to the batter about one-third of the sifted dry ingredients and beat 
well. Add about one-third of the cold liquid and then continue alternating 
flour and liquid until all have been used. Stir in flavoring and pour into 
buttered pans until they are half full. 

Put cakes into oven 350° F. keeping the temperature as near as possible 
at the given degree. The cake is done if it is elastic to the touch. If it is 
carefully taken out of the oven before it shrinks from the sides of pan, it 
makes a much nicer looking cake. 

Standard Method of Mixing Cakes with Melted Butter or Shortening 

Beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl set in a larger bowl of boiling water, 
taking care that the batter does not get hotter than lukewarm. Beat until the 
mixture has a texture of whipped cream. Once it is lukewarm, remove batter 
immediately from hot water. Fold the sifted dry ingredients into the cooled 
batter and then add the cooled melted shortening with the flavoring. 

Half fill buttered and floured pans and bake in an oven at 350° F. until 
cake leaves the side of pan, or until it is elastic to the touch. Let cool in 
pan before turning out. 

If the cake is to be eaten soon after it is baked, it should be turned out 
on a wire, cake rack, but if it is to be kept for any length of time, it should 
be left in pans to cool for at least ten minutes, when the moisture is con- 
densed within, and the cake keeps fresh and moist much longer.

The Sunshine Vitamin is in Fleischmann’s Yeast

Magic Baking Powder Contains No Alum 


Royal or Ornamental Icing 

2 egg whites 

Pinch of GUlett’s Cream of Tartar 
Confectioner’s sugar 
A pinch of salt 

Beat egg whites until stiff enough 
to hold a spoon erect. Then beat in 
two tablespoons of sifted confection- 
er’s sugar. Continue adding the 
same amount of sugar and beating in 
between until the icing keeps the 
mark of a knife. Add Cream of 
Tartar. Spread a thin coating over 
the cake. When this hardens, put 
on a thicker layer. Use a pastry bag 
and tubes to ornament as desired. 

The secret of a good Royal Icing: 

A pinch of salt should be added 
to the egg whites, which should be 
beaten with a Dover beater. The con- 
fectioner’s sugar should be sifted and 
added very gradually, never more 
than half a cupful at a time, as the 
icing should be thickened rather by 
beating than by quantity of sugar 
used. 

Sugar should be added and well 
beaten in until the icing will keep 
the mark of a knife. A pinch of Gil- 
lett’s Cream of Tartar for every egg 
white used and a drop or two of blu- 
ing gives a white icing. 

A fruit cake should be covered 
with almond icing before the white 
or ornamental icing is put on, as a 
few days after a fruit cake is baked 
the juice from the fruit begins to 
ooze out, which discolors the white 
icing, whereas the almond icing does 
not let the fruit juices through.

When large cracks appear, the fault 
is due to the use of extra fine sugar 
or the filling too stiff.

Cinnamon Buns 

1 cup sugar 
4 y* cups flour 

1 teaspoon salt 

8 teaspoons Magic Baking Powder 
4 tablespoons shortening 

2 eggs 

1 cup water 

4 teaspoons cinnamon 

8 tablespoons seeded raisins 

Sift 4 tablespoons of measured 
sugar with flour, salt and baking 
powder; rub shortening in lightly. 
Add beaten eggs to water and add 
slowly to dry ingredients to make 
soft dough. Roll ]/$ inch thick on 
floured board; brush with melted 
butter; sprinkle with sugar, cinna- 
mon and raisins. Roll as for jelly 
roll. Cream 6 tablespoons butter 
with 6 tablespoons brown sugar. 
Spread this mixture on bottom 
and sides of iron baking pan or 
iron skillet. Cut dough into 2 inch 
pieces, place with cut edges up in 
pan. Allow to stand 15 minutes; 
bake in hot oven at 425° F. about 25 
minutes. Remove from pan at once, 
turning upside down to serve. 

Chopped Pastry 

5 cups pastry flour 
1 cup butter 

1 cup lard 
1 teaspoon salt 
1 scant cup of ice-water 

Put flour, salt and shortening in 
chopping tray; chop all together till 
shortening is thoroughly mixed with 
the flour, then add water gradually 
and continue chopping. When well 
mixed, turn the paste on to a floured 
board; roll lightly into a flat piece, 
fold and put away on ice. When 
hard use the same as puff paste. It 
can be used as soon as mixed, but 
will not be so good as if allowed to 
stand. 

Puff Paste 

1 quart pastry flour 
1 pint butter 
1 tablespoon salt 
1 tablespoon sugar 
IJ4 cups water 

Wash the hands with soap and 
water, and dip them first in very hot, 
and then in cold, water. Rinse a 
large bowl or pan with boiling water, 
and then with cold. Half fill it with 
cold water. Wash the butter in this, 
working it with the hands until it is 
light and waxy. This frees it of the 


salt and butter-milk, and lightens it, 
so that the pastry is more delicate. 
Shape the butter into two thin cakes, 
and put in a pan of ice- water, to 
harden. Mix the salt and sugar with 
the flour. With the hands, rub one- 
third of the butter into the flour. Add 
the water, stirring with a knife. Stir 
quickly and vigorously until the paste 
is a smooth ball. Sprinkle the board 
lightly with flour. Turn the paste on 
this, and pound quickly and lightly 
with the rolling pin. Do not break 
the paste. Roll from you and to one 
side; or, if easier to roll from you all 
the while, turn the paste around. 
When it is about one-fourth of an 
inch thick, wipe the remaining butter, 
break it in bits, and spread these on 
the paste. Sprinkle lightly with flour. 
Fold the paste, one-third from each 
side, so that the edges meet. Now 
fold from the ends, but do not have 
these meet. Double the paste, pound 
lightly, and roll down to about one- 
third of an inch in thickness. Fold 
as before, and roll down again. Re- 
peat this three times if for pies, and 
six times if for patties, tarts, etc. 
Place on the ice, to harden, when it 
has been rolled the last time. It 
should be in the ice chest at least an 
hour before being used. In hot 
weather if the paste sticks when be- 
ing rolled down, put it on a tin sheet 
and place on ice. As soon as it is 
chilled it will roll easily. The less 
flour you use in rolling out the paste 
the tenderer it will be. No matter 
how carefully every part of the work 
may be done, the paste will not be 
good if too much flour is used. 

When rolling out pastry, do not 
roll over the edges, as this will let 
out the air. 

Custard Pi© 

3 eggs 

3 tablespoons sugar 
1 tablespoon flour 
J /2 teaspoon salt 
I teaspoon vanilla 
1 pint milk 

Sift together sugar, flour and salt; 
gradually add beaten eggs, then milk

carefully for sand or parasites. When 
thoroughly washed pile leaves lightly 
in cheesecloth and keep on ice.

3. Never put salad dressing on let- 
tuce or other salad greens until just 
before serving as it makes the greens 
limp and wilted. 

4. Marinate in French dressing all 
vegetables, meat and fish to be used 
in salads. 

5. Make your salad attractive to 
look at as well as to eat. Never 
throw the ingredients carelessly to- 
gether.
